After a good, long run, we have decided to close our forums in an effort to refocus attention to other sections of the site. Fortunately for you all, we're living in a time where discussion of a favorite topic now has a lot of homes. So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I mean, I respect the fact that everyone is free to make their own official "fan-site" and all, but I really think that Dennis should contact them and let them know that they should really make sure that people know its an un-official site, as most people will usually try '.com' before '.net'.

It's somewhere on here - this website showed up in a magazine article or an interview or something, except they gave the wrong URL (the .com one). Some guy saw it and registered it, hoping to make a cheap buck.

Chuck mentioned .com when he meant .net on his commentary on the Fight Club dvd.

If I ever find out who that guy is, I will punch him in the face. He should hand his domain to Dennis. He only uses his fucking front page to get referrals from people who buy Chuck's books on Amazon from his page.

hey, speaked of the whole .com and .net thing, i admit i was one of those people who want to .com first and it sucked ass......what does it mean when it's .net anywas? anything special? and why is this all called the cult?

Yes, since I check that site often, I can tell you for a fact that that is a very new addition. Me and the webmaster of that site have sort of reached the pinnacle of a quiet feud where we just don't really refer to each other anymore. He doesn't like the fact that I spoke out against him on The Cult, but I don't like the fact that he's turned a great domain name into a basic storefront for Amazon without any content to back it up.

Not only has [url]www.palahniuk.com[/url] plagarized THIS site, but they've also stolen MY FUCKING TRANSCRIPTIONS for this site. Which is too funny. He says, "These are interviews with Chuck that I have found on the internet." And then he posts the Best Erotica Interview - with MY FUCKING NAME ON THE BOTTOM OF IT!

what i don't understand is why someone would go out of their way to create a site and then rip off someone else's stuff. that seems like a lot more work than coming up with an original idea and implementing it....

that palahniuk.com site is horrible. the color schemes suck, it is not user friendly, and it's obvious this person wants to be dennis when s/he grows up.

you bring up a good point, will. but is there a good excuse for sucking?

seriously though, dennis et al. put in a lot of work to maintain this site (fo' shizzle) for the rest of the world to enjoy. why would you want all that work?? why not just enjoy the fruits of someone else's labors???

Stands on top of a large cliff, ala Morpheus in the lame Zion speech scene in the Matrix 2, and screams:

[i]"Citizens of ChuckPalahniuk.net unite!!!"[/i]

No, just kidding. Yes, this guy is a dick. I'll even show you an email he sent me a couple weeks before creating his site.
(and this is verbatim)

[i]you guys think your so special because you have the only palahniuk site on the web, with news, BS Etc....why not give someone else a shot? to prove your the best. but first....i'll need chuckys e-mail adress. think of this as a website duel. run it by chucky...im sure he'll want me to have his adress.

toodles
JJ

p.s: stop horading chuck.

p.p.s: i wont give out his adress if he says i can have it, honest injun. [/i]

For the record, the Header Topic of the email read, "What Makes You So Special?"

And yes, he does plagirize mine and others work on this site. Yet I have to admit that I both love/hate his presence out there on the web. It sometimes gets lonely being one of the only Chuck sites. So to have this thorn in my side reminds me of my roots, and how long it took (four years) to get this site where it is now.

So yes, if any of you want to email this guy, go ahead. I can't and I won't stop you. I'll just wait for his site to inevitable crumble due to lack of originality and passion.
